About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
“SERAFINA” in Italian translates to both “angel of the sea” and “fine evening”. Those who have been there completely agree! This beautifully romantic, candlelit trattoria is nestled in Victoria Park on a gorgeous view of the Middle River. Its doors open to the most irresistibly charming ambiance and aromas of fantastic Mediterranean flavors. Serafina has a covered and heated patio so guests can enjoy their surroundings in every season!

    We enjoyed our dinner at Serafina’s..Portions were large. I feel like one bowl of pasta could feed 2-3 people. We had the fettuccine with chicken, the chef’s special pasta and the bolognese. All were very good.
